Feng Anning, on the other hand, was enlightened and said, “What? I’ve always been with Brother Shen. I can testify for him.”
Hearing that, Madam Feng’s expression changed and she reprimanded, “Anning, shut up!” Feng Anning stuck out her tongue playfully and stopped talking.
“Grandmother, Cousin, Second Uncle, what should we do now?” Shen Miao said as if she was in a difficult spot, but her expression was calm. Anyone could tell that she was enjoying the show.
This was absolutely a slap in the face!
Old Madam Shen was a little flustered. Since she was the one who set up the trap today, she had naturally made all the necessary preparations. However, she did not know why Shen Qiu became Shen Yuan. However, when she saw Shen Miao’s smiling face, Old Madam Shen knew that it was most likely Shen Miao’s doing.
Shen Gui was stupefied. He had specially come over to watch the show because he heard that Shen Qiu had done something outrageous. One had to know that a person’s reputation would also affect his career in the imperial court. Now that Shen Qiu was actually the one involved, wouldn’t his official career be cut off shortly after he returned to the capital?
The young ladies were still a little confused, but the madams understood what was going on. What happened today was clearly a show put up by the Shen family. It was obvious that someone wanted to use Jing Chuchu to trick Shen Qiu. Unexpectedly, in the end, Shen Qiu became Shen Yuan. Thinking about Shen Miao’s attitude from the beginning until now, it went without saying that Shen Miao was the mastermind behind it.
Everyone said that the fifth daughter of the Shen family was an idiot and was treated as a fool by people. However, from the looks of it now, no one would dare to treat her as a fool again. The person who set up the trap today probably did not expect to be beaten in their own game.
Old Madam Shen was in a difficult position. She rolled her eyes and was about to pretend to faint to smooth things over when she heard Shen Miao say, “Cousin, as her brother, you must be very sad that something like this happened to your sister. Don’t worry, Grandmother said just now that she will give her the justice she deserves.”
Old Madam Shen instantly stopped pretending to faint. She glared at Shen Miao and said, “Yuan is still unconscious. He’s obviously schemed against. Shen Miao, don’t spout nonsense!”
“Old Madam, what are you talking about?” Without waiting for Shen Miao to speak, Luo Xueyan exploded. “When people say the man inside was Qiu, you didn’t speak up for him at all. Yuan is your grandson, but isn’t Qiu your grandson too?”
Luo Xueyan was not afraid of falling out with Old Madam Shen. She had always been such a hot-tempered person. After hearing that, Old Madam Shen flared up, “You all have no regard for me!”
“Grandmother, let’s talk about how to deal with this matter first.” Shen Miao smiled faintly. Her tone was gentle and calm from the beginning to the end, making Old Madam Shen feel even more embarrassed. She said, “Grandmother, did you forget what you said just now? You said that Grandpa used to say that people of the Shen family have to be honest and upright. If you take someone’s virginity, you have to be responsible for her. Second Brother has to marry Cousin!” She deliberately imitated Old Madam Shen’s righteous tone. Luo Xueyan chuckled and Shen Miao looked at everyone. “All the madams, you saw it with your eyes. Grandmother has always been a trustworthy person. She always does what she says.”
The surrounding madams all knew that Shen Miao was using them as a tool, but there was nothing they could do. Old Madam Shen’s face turned red after being mocked by Shen Miao. She muttered incoherently to herself, “There’s something fishy about this matter! There is something fishy about this matter”
